Wiking Helikopter Service GmbH has signed a multi-year contract with Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) to support its wind turbine maintenance process for the Beatrice wind farm in north Scotland's North Sea territory. Wiking will provide onsite helicopter hoist operations for service technicians and material to wind turbines for maintenance services.

“We are delighted that we have been selected by SGRE and value its continued confidence in our high level of safety, quality and performance standards,” stated Ernst Nassl CEO Wiking Helikopter Service GmbH. “As the leading helicopter/hoist operations service provider in Europe, we are proud to again build this partnership on our 43 years aviation experience supporting our wind offshore as well our oil and gas customers.”

The operations will start soon to grant SGRE in time and efficient wind turbine maintenance service level agreements. Flights will be operated with the Airbus Helicopters H145, departing from Wiking's new base in Wick in north Scotland to the Beatrice offshore wind farm in the Moray Firth.
